Energy Requirements of the Arroyo Hondo Pueblo Population

Although we can never know precisely how much food the people of Arroyo Hondo Pueblo needed to sustain themselves, we can make a rough estimate of their collective energy requirement. The model found in the 1973 recommendation of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), intended for use in nonindustrial countries is used in the Appendix A of Volume 6 to reflect the true requirement of the whole population, not for any one individual.
